[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1148618, member: 82144"] Hello again Tony They are, [B]when the episode name is actually available[/B]. That tells me that one or both of the following is true: [LIST] [*]the EPG source you're using doesn't have episode name information (most likely) [*]the importer you're using doesn't support passing the episode name through to the database (unlikely). [/LIST] No it doesn't. You've misread. It populates it with the contents of the _subTitle field, which is the episode name in WebEPG parlance. Yes. I could have told you that already if you had asked. No. For a start, WMC doesn't record to TS files; it records to WTV files, which are quite different to TS files. Second, TS files don't have an episode name property. Finally, like I said already, MediaPortal's TV Server does not store any information in the TS file. Everything goes in the XML (Matroska) file. [B]There is an EPISODENAME property in the Matroska file[/B], and that property is used to store the episode name [B]when it is available.[/B] Your concern is already understood. In case you weren't aware, TV Server supports avoiding recording duplicate episodes by checking the episode name or number, as described in the wiki: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/07_Recording#Scheduler[/URL] In summary, TV Server already imports and stores the episode name [B]when it is available from the EPG source[/B]. It saves it with the recording information in the database and in the XML file on the file system, and can be configured to use it to avoid recording duplicate episodes automatically. All signs currently indicate with high probability that you're using an EPG source that doesn't supply episode name details. That being the case, it is normal and expected for the episode name in the database and Matroska files to be empty/unpopulated. If you want the episode name to be populated, you will have to find an EPG source that provides the information. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
